Begonia loosing blooms

17 years ago

Two days ago I received a double begonia hanging basket. It was beautiful with pale pink blooms that looked like miniture roses. The next morning the blooms were on the floor. If you just barely touch the plant, remaining blooms fall off. It now has many buds, but no open blossums. It is inside, near a south window but not in direct sunlight. It just seems so weak. What should I do?
