the plant has a thick, dark purple stalk. The leaves are fairly dark green and branch out. The flowers are a creamy butter color with dark purple center. They grow down as they like bells.

I suggest you to show a picture, because there are hundreds of varieties which looks similar coz the climatic conditions vary from one region to another. A picture would be best to describe the actual variety.

hmm hard to say w/o a picture and knowing what state or area such as N, E, W, S, etc.. you live in, some plants are native to diff. areas. Sort of sounds life "the devils plant" just a name for it that some call it Dutchura or moon flower. these are all considerd poision and were used by native americans for healing etc.. but the purple one grow taller and has bell like flowers, it is the most poision of the dutchura family hence the nick name. Look that up and see if it is a match. Is the flower big, small, smell, how tall is the plant itself, growing wild , shade sun.

Its hard to try to pinpint because you don't say the size (height/width) of the plant or flower. What the flower looks like, is it a rose shape, carnation shape, bleeding heart shape. I have included a few that may be it by the description, look on line by the names and see if the pictures match what you have.
If not, take a pic with your camera or camera phone, clip a leaf, and or flower, get the size and go to your nearest Lawn store. They will help you but the need all of the above to get the full benefit.
