Default English paper piecing newbie questions

Last night at my favorite LQS Halloween party, I won a small English paper piecing kit-enough pieces of fabric and paper to make a flower. The directions are pretty clear, but does it need a particular needle? Somewhere, in the back of my head, I thought I remembered that it does.

Also, now I'm interested. (And waiting out a hurricane-anything I can do by hand may be a good thing before this is all over!) What else can you do with English paper piecing? All I know about is Grandma's Flower Garden, and tiny apple cores. I googled and there are a ton of pages out there-are there any specifically that I should check out while I've still got power?
