Cloudless Sulphur ovipositing in Old Lyme? (pic)

Imagine my surprised when I saw a male and a female cloudless sulphur dancing 
around a meadow.

Then I watched the female laying one egg about every 30 seconds on a plant 
which I think is called Partridge Pea.

I would appreciate a confirmation on my ID and any information on what will 
become of these eggs. I collected about 5 to raise.  But is it a futile effort 
with cold weather fast approaching?
