Two of the most famous (distinctly) mottled-leaf phalaenopsis species are schilleriana (pink flowers) and stuartiana (white flowers) discovered in the early 1800's. Both have been hybrized extensively. It is POSSIBLE that your plant has one or both of these species in its background. There are some phalaenopsis that are genetically pre-disposed to produce keikis galore but no flowers. Even when/if it flowers, a positive id is next to impossible without DNA testing.
Someday you may be surprised and get a NOID flower. In the meantime, these phals look nice as foliage plants.
