Height of parent of flex elements in CSS

If the parent of a flex element does not have a height set, then it will be stretched by its contents, that is, the height of its descendants:

html<div class="parent">
  <div class="child">1</div>
  <div class="child">2</div>
  <div class="child">3</div>
</div>

css.parent {
  display: flex;
  width: 300px;
  border: 1px solid red;
}
.child {
  width: 50px;
  height: 50px;
  border: 1px solid green;
}
