Is there any significance of a flower that has a certain number of petals, sepals, or anthers?
Yes there is a great deal of significance to it . let us look at it =
1 ) Dicot flowers have sepals and petals either 5 or 4 in number or in their multiple .
Monocots have them in 3 or multiple of three.

2 ) Presence of free sepals ; petals ; stamens and carpels is a primitive character and found in the most primitive flowering families such as Magnoliaceae ; Annonaceae.
United or fused floral parts mentioned above is considered to be an advance character and found in advanced families ( There are many ) Asteraceae is one of them.
I do not know what more you expect besides this . Othewise I would have continued .
