Dahlias often have a great many more than eight petals. They do have eight sets of homologous chromosomes which is why there are so many thousands of different dahlias.
A dahlia tuber is stored indoors during the winter in zones below zone 8. It is planted usually in April and May. It requires pinching to make the plant bushier and have larger flowers. Growers will use stakes to help keep the dahlia upright and often use umbrellas to prevent the larger flowers from filling with water.
It has branched vascular veins in its leaf petals, it's roots spread out more vastly than a monocots would, and it also has 8 flower petals when it flowers? Bon appétit
Depends entirely on the flower. Monocotyledonous flowers have floral parts in multiples of 3 - so they would have either 3, 6, 9 (etc.) petals. Dicotyledonous flowers have floral parts in multiples of 4 or 5 - so they could have 4, 8, 12, 16 (etc.), or 5, 10, 15 (etc.) petals.
The flowers with most petals are currently artificially selected flowers; that is, wild forms of, say, roses which have been cultivated into mutated forms with much more petals than would occur in nature. Wild flowers mostly have only one ring of petals, up to a total of either five or six in non-composite flowers, while cultivated flowers have many times that number.

I can't be sure what you would use it for but I do know that it can be used for converting kilometres into miles i.e. 5 miles =8 kilometres and so on and that many flowers have a Fibonacci number of petals.
The basic function of the petal is to attract insects and mammals to the flower for pollination; to a certain degree they also offer a small amount of protection to the reproductive structures. Some petals play a secondary roll providing a landing platform for pollinators (mainly insects).The petals are also called the inflorescence of the the flower.In Dicotyledonous flowers the petals are protected when young by the calyx.In Dicotyledonous plants the flowers either have petals in multiples of 4 or 5 (eg. 4, 8, 12 or 5, 10, 15 etc.).In Monocotyledonous plants the flower have petals in multiples of 3 (eg. 3, 6, 9 etc.).Some petals are brightly coloured and are pleasant for humans to look at.Flowers that sometimes appear drab to humans are patterned in ways that are visible to animals and insects, but not us - they may contain pigments and patterns that are only visible in utraviolet light (which some insects can see).Petals have no function in photosynthesis.
