There are so many species out there, and I haven't seen any flowers coming out of this plant. Can you help?

When you rub the leaves do they smell? if so you probably got a typical geranium that grows outside as annuals, its not flowering due to the limited light indoors. bring the plant outdoors on warm sunny days and don't leave outside overnight until all signs of frost or freezing nights are gone. you may have a brownish tinge that may circulate on each of the new grown leaves and in no time it will flower due to the full sun exposure.

P.S- you may also want to try the sunniest part of your house (Southern facing window) that gives the most light to your plant/s.

CARE:
Water-frequently until soil slightly dries on surface

Soil-Good quality soil with good drainage. (re-pot for new lush growth in a slightly bigger pot)

Light-Full sun

Feed- once every 2 weeks with a good all general fertilizer

I'd also recommend cutting it back to remove the old leggy stems, it'll look much better once it grows back, if you follow VenusFlytrap's suggestions of moving it to a sunny window or better yet, outdoors.
Only, don't move it into full sun all at once, or your plant will get pretty badly sunburned.
