Default Tuberless Begonias

I just dug up some begonias I'd planted early this year, expecting to
find some kind of tuber to store over until next winter. But alas,
there was nothing but a root system down there. I know there are at
least two different types of begonias, but I was sure this was the
tuberous kind. Could it be that I dug it up too early? Too late
perhaps?

They must not be the tuberous kind - the tubers are there when you plant
tham and there when you dig them up to store. In fact, the tubers just keep
increasing in size over time. The only way they would not be present if they
were the tuberous type of begonia is if they had rotted, but your plants
would have died in that case and it would have been obvious.
