I moved to an apartment with no balcony but I do have big beautiful windows with wide sills. I dont want to miss out on summer flowers. Can U suggest flowers that I can grow indoors for the summer ?

You can grow outdoor flowers inside! Make sure you pick plants that don't get too large. Geraniums are one plant that does well inside.
How much light comes through the window and what direction are the windows facing. The amount of light that comes in the window will need to be what says what plants you can put on the sills. A lot of the time the light coming in the window will be indirect light. You may need to have a grow light for flowers that want full sun. East windows are great for plants like pothos and others like them that love the morning indirect sun. South windows are good for more sun loving plants, but if you have an overhang outside the window it may be a little too indirect. I have a large overhang on my south windows, but my orchids and umbrella plant love it. I also have a large terrarium in my back room filled with succulents that love that light. I also have spider plants and pothos in those south windows, too and grow like weeds. West windows may give you the strongest light for the sun loving flowers. If you are allowed, some hanging plants in front of the windows hanging higher than your other plants will also allow you some more room for flowers or greenery.
