I'd say African Violet. My mother-in-law has quite a few of them on her window sills.

African Violet for sure. Nice looking plant, too. It looks like you have new growth there, as well.

If you have cats, mine love to eat the flowers -- not poisonous to therm, but I WOULD like to enjoy the flowers sometimes too (not to eat but to look at
)

no cats and luckily my dog doesn't have an appetite for flowers but thanks for that tip!
